A Bicycle Built For You

bicycle wallet.jpgDear Agyness, Mr. Sartorialist, Bill C. (if you too are headed to Europe),

We know you'll be doing a lot of traveling in the coming months, well, September at least and into October, and we think it'd be way more fun and way less exhausting if all your important documents were stored in this fancy leather travel wallet.

It'll fit your passport, your tickets, dollars, pounds and euros - of which you'll need a lot. And it's bright yellow, so toward the Paris end of things you'll have something bright to keep you going.

I know you're thinking $235 is a lot to spend on something a bit less than practical, but you'll have it for the rest of your life - which we're betting will include a lot of airplane rides. And the nice people at Courier du Coeur even embroidered a little bicycle on it, just for you, so you'll never feel too far from home.

Because traveling with your own bike would really slow you down.

xoxo

Courier de du Coeur is the name of the wallet; not the name of the maker(Henry Cuir).

now i think you're just trying to get readers riled up on purpose.

200+ for a passport because you'll have it your whole life???? are you kidding!

it definitely would hold the few pounds and euros i'd have after converting american dollars. you guys are so out of touch with what is going on with the economy, it's laughable.

if you guys pitch something that is super over priced for what it really is and you got it for a free as a sample--i really think you should make fair disclosure.

i can't think of any other reason why you would pitch something so out of reach with americans.

I guess it's just me, but I don't see what everyone is complaining about with the economy. it's not that bad at least for me and my family.
